Lea Saltman suddenly walked up to Maison and handed him a bunch of candy while saying, “You don’t look like a nerd at all, Maison! You look handsome with your glasses on!” Upon hearing that, Xavia was just about to chuckle when Neal Xenos walked up to Lea and added, “If you’re giving your candy to Maison, then you can have mine!” Ignoring him, Lea replied, “Hey, can I follow you on your family trip, Maison?” Shaking his head, Maison then said, “Sorry, but this is a family-only trip… Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to bring home a souvenir.” Though slightly bummed, Lea nodded obediently. This prompted Neal to reply, “You still have me, you know? We can play games together at the park!” “How childish!” retorted Lea before running off to play with Yulia, leaving Neal slightly stunned. Why was playing at the park childish? Especially for their age? It took him a while, but he eventually walked up to her again and said, “…Then… I’ll just play with whatever you want to, Lea!” Their i
Sneering in response, the woman scoffed, “Hah! I’m Fiona, idiot!” “…W-what? But you look nothing like her… Is that a mask?” “Oh, if only that were the case! But no, this is my real face that I ruined just so that nobody would recognize me anymore! So that I could get close enough to you to finally have my revenge…! Well, Xavia?! Are you afraid yet?!” Naturally, Xavia was. To think that Fiona had waited so long just to strike back! Vengeance truly was a terrifying thing! Either way, since Zivon wasn’t stirring from his sleep, Xavia immediately attempted to make a distress call… but before she could even hit the call button, Fiona added, “Don’t even try to call your brother for help. There’s no signal this far out at sea, and even if you manage to initiate an emergency satellite call, it’ll take him at least twenty minutes to fly a helicopter over! By that point, I’ll already have exacted my revenge…!” Now panicking more than ever, the frightened woman began yelling his name… B
Eyes widening in shock, the frantic mother was quick to yell, “S-stop! Stop it! Please…! W-we need to save her…!” Following that, the weakened woman desperately crawled toward the window… alas, she wasn’t even able to prop herself up! Sneering in response, Fiona retorted, “Relax, bitch! There are three more children left to toss out!” With that said, she began tossing Maison, Yulia, and finally Frank out without the slightest remorse! By this point, Xavia had screamed so much that her throat had started to bleed! It was clear that the trembling woman had already been thoroughly broken down, but even so, Fiona wasn’t satisfied yet! Revealing a dagger that had been hidden under her skirt, the evil woman walked up to the bed that Zivon was on before saying, “I genuinely loved you, you know…? Just why did you have to be so ruthless to me, hmm…?! You only have yourself to blame for this! Remember that fire I caused to fake my death last month? Had you come over to check on me back
That was the last thing that the crying Xavia was able to yell before both she and Fiona crashed beneath the waves. During her final moments of lucidity, she couldn’t help but think about Fiona’s words… True enough, she had been the one who had posted their route map on social media to keep everyone informed about her trip… Alas, it was now far too late to realize that she hadn’t unfriended Fiona back then! That aside, Fiona’s comment on her insistence of having no guards around was true too! At the time, Xavia had firmly believed that she knew enough martial arts to defend herself… but now that all this had happened, she realized just how powerless she truly was. To top it all off, the part where she had fed her own family the poisoned seafood was true too. Just hours earlier, Fiona had walked up to her and told her that they had just caught some fresh seafood, which led to Xavia agreeing to have some with her family… If only she had paid a bit more attention to Fiona’s face, th
Her mind was a mess, but one thing was for sure. She had returned back to the day when she first met Zivon… Which meant that she could prevent all the upcoming tragedies that would’ve occurred because of her! Was this God showing mercy on her…?! Xavia’s train of thought was cut short when her phone suddenly rang… It was Zivon. He was probably calling again to check on his takeout’s status, right…? Shaking her head, she ended the call before muting her phone… and following that, she sent him a text. ‘Apologies, but I’ve met with an accident so the delivery will be late. You should receive it within half an hour with the help of my friend. Again, apologies.’ Upon reading that, Zivon instantly squinted. Checking on her location, he realized that she was just nineteen meters away from him! To think that she had lied to him so blatantly! ‘You only have five minutes. Fail to do that and I’ll close down your shop!’ …This really was the overbearing Zivon from the past, huh…? Even so,
Fast forward to the next day, Jenna really showed up… and beside her, was Zivon! To think that she had brought him along! The truth was, Jenna had wanted to show Zivon just how lowly her sister was compared to her so that he would potentially treat her better… and after taking a deep breath, Jenna forced a smile and said, “Zivon, meet my twin… Xavia, meet your brother-in-law.” Not even daring to look him in the face, Xavia lowered her gaze as she replied, “I-it’s a pleasure to meet you… That aside, I have something else to attend to now, so I’ll be taking my leave first.” Watching as Xavia walked off, Zivon couldn’t help but squint before saying, “…You never told me that you had a twin.” Gulping slightly, Jenna replied, “S-she grew up in the countryside, so the both of us aren’t that close…” That aside, it seemed that Xavia really had partaken in a marriage, so… She now had one less rival to deal with. Pleased by that thought, Jenna then began leading Zivon away from the scen
“…Am I just expected to wait for a chance for her to wake up, then…?!” “…A-about that… There’s a chance that she may turn into a full vegetable if this goes on for long enough… B-but that’s the worst-case scenario, so…!” “…What did you say…?!” growled the infuriated Ian as he crashed a vase onto the floor! “Ian, calm down…” muttered the worried Tiffany. “How am I expected to calm down when all this bullshit is happening…?! I knew it! I shouldn’t have sent them off without guards…!” howled Ian, prompting Tiffany to purse her lips before hugging him tightly. “…Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll wake up. Speaking of which, I heard the doctor saying that Zivon’s condition had stabilized… Maybe he’ll be able to bring her back once he’s up?” “Y-you heard correct, and that’s a great idea! I’m sure he’ll be able to help!” replied the doctor. “Then what are you waiting for…?! Go make sure he wakes up as soon as possible, then!” retorted Ian, prompting the frightened doctor to nod before
Shortly after, Zivon was wheeled to Xavia’s ward… and with his intravenous drip still attached to his arm, the people he passed by couldn’t help but sigh. After all, even though he had just escaped the maws of death, his priority was still his wife… What a truly loving couple… Either way, when Zivon finally saw the unconscious Xavia with her oxygen mask attached, an immense pressure began building around him. Noticing that familiar pressure, Ian quickly looked up and realized that Zivon was finally up. Before he could say a word, however, one of the doctors was quick to say, “Young Master Burton awoke about five minutes ago, and his first order was for us to bring him over!” Pursing his lips, Ian replied, “…Though I did urge you to wake up sooner, at least go through a full-body examination first before coming over-” “No need for that,” interrupted the determined man, causing Ian to sigh. There was nothing he could do to change that man’s mind, huh? Shaking his head, Ian then
